I guess I have mixed feelings today about the whole thing. All of this is pretty odd and makes me fairly uneasy about the whole Kairos tradition at my high school. And you were expected to stay silent about the whole experience around non-attendees. They took our phones for the entire four day retreat. A lot of people treated the religious aspects pretty fanatically, saying they "see God" and things like that. We were fully expected to share every intimate detail of our lives to random peers and faculty members pretty much to the point where we cry ("everyone cries on Kairos"). This was especially nice as a student of an all-male school, as the sort of hypermasculinity among my male friends prevented us from saying this earlier.īut as time has gone on I realized how weird the whole experience was. The "letters" part of the retreat made me realize how loved I am by so many different people this something I have a hard time conceptualizing, so that was kind of nice. It allowed me to fully realize that most people carry around a lot of emotional baggage but become adjusted to covering it up, which has encouraged me to this day to treat everyone with respect. At the time, despite not being religious, I mostly enjoyed the retreat. I went my senior year of high school because it was a whole secret thing that everyone hyped up a lot. Repeat offenders will be banned, not permanently, we believe in finite punishment for finite transgression.įunny, I was just reflecting on this recently.Any denial/belittlement about the sex abuse scandal is not allowed.
